It rains heavily in Montevideo on a Sunday in 1993. A particularly suspicious man enters the last screening of a horror film at a downtown cinema. The room, which is not very crowded due to the storm outside, slowly starts to get stained with blood.
Ana, the projectionist’s daughter, who has taken her father’s place just for the night, is in charge of the show. In the darkness of the cinema, the spectators fall one by one into the hands of the killer. From the projection room, Ana begins to notice that something strange is happening. A teenager and a boy who slipped into the room meet Ana as they try to escape. Together they must face this sadistic and ruthless killer, to save their lives and avoid a massacre in the matinee.

"Thoroughly enjoyed! If you like giallo, unique kills, and films set in cinemas, then this is your movie. And besides the feature, it’s packed with shorts!"
"Even though the trailer somewhat oversells The Last Matinee, it is nonetheless a Uruguayan / Argentinian genre piece that clearly loves the horror genre, and I guess we are not going to see all too many of them get good releases. Not only is this a slasher fed though giallo aesthetic – with some solid murder set-pieces and special effects - but it also, surprisingly, succeeds in channeling both Bava’s Demons, and Ming-Liang’s Goodbye, Dragon Inn at the same time and that’s a cracking good job."
